Duality in Gravity and Higher Spin Gauge Fields

High Energy Physics - Theory 2010-02-03 v3

Abstract

Dual field theory realisations are given for linearised gravity in terms of gauge fields in exotic representations of the Lorentz group. The field equations and dual representations are discussed for a wide class of higher spin gauge fields. For non-linear Einstein gravity, such transformations can be implemented locally in light-cone gauge, or partially implemented in the presence of a Killing vector. Sources and the relation to Kaluza-Klein monopoles are discussed.
